An easy crochet v-stitch scarf with a fun heart fringe free crochet pattern.  A free crochet pattern by Nana’s Crafty Home!

The Hearts Aflutter Scarf crochet pattern is a little bit of what we all need in our lives — happy, cheerful and fun!  The crochet v stitch scarf itself is made with a very simple v-stitch easy enough for the beginning crocheter.  A v-stitch for St. Valentine’s Day seemed appropriate and I love how it turned out!

Crochet V Stitch Scarf Pattern Details

The main body of this crochet v-stitch scarf is made with a beginner-friendly V-stitch.  The V-stitch is a (dc, ch 1, dc) all worked in the same stitch or space.  Such a unique look with a simple stitch repeat throughout.

The v-stitch crochet scarf portion of this pattern is simple and easy so I wanted something unique and different to take it to the next level and I thought of doing a heart fringe.  The hearts dangle off the ends of the scarf and really do flutter!

I have included video tutorials below for both the v-stitch and the heart fringe if you like a visual. Subscribe to my YouTube Channel to get notified whenever I post a new video.

The yarn is one of my go-to favorites — Hobby Lobby’s I Love this Yarn!  This yarn is economical yet soft (even before washing!) and there are so many colors to choose from!  However, any 4-weight yarn would be a good substitute in this pattern.  In fact, gauge is really not important at all so if you only have sport weight or 3-weight yarn on hand — go for it!  The scarf would just be a little smaller in size than mine. Use what you have in your stash no need to buy special yarn for this project!  I made another scarf in Caron Cake’s Cherry Chip so the color changes are built in and it looks great but I am partial to the color changes in my final scarf.

Since I hate weaving in ends I carried the yarn up the ends of the scarf and then did a simple single crochet border around the edge of the scarf which hid the yarn carry….very few yarn ends!

I love the V-stitch and have a couple of patterns that feature the V-stitch but with a modern, fun variation.  In fact, these are some of my more popular patterns – the Candy Kisses Triangle Scarf, the Midnight Madness Poncho and the Candy Kisses Blanket.  I have video tutorials for all three patterns as well!
